Page 13 key.save(key_dir) |
Thanks for the excellent guide. It would be great to check that key_dir (~/.ssh/) exists and create it if not. I added a user to my machine for this guide, so saving the "paws.pem" file failed, and I got in a bit of a loop trying to figure out how to get a new paws SSH key. Eventually I figured out that I could create ~/.ssh/ myself, go into the web-based AWS Management Console and delete the "paws" keypair and then it would work. Note from the Author or Editor: |

The error is actually in the source code for Example 3-6. The copy_object function takes a parameter called preserve_metadata but later the function refers to preserve_acl. The corrected version of this code can be found at: |
